Are you a commercially astute Quantity Surveyor who thrives on shaping projects from the ground up?
Have you worked on high-rise PBSA or hotel schemes - or better yet, both?
This is your chance to join a growing developer where you will have genuine impact, visibility, and the chance to shape landmark projects across the UK.
About the Company
This is a family-owned developer with a proven record of delivering large-scale, high-quality developments across the country. With a diverse pipeline that spans student accommodation and hotel projects, they are growing rapidly and investing in their commercial team to support the next phase of expansion.
Unlike many larger organisations, this is a business where you can see the difference your work makes - decisions are made quickly, ideas are heard, and collaboration with senior leaders is part of daily life. You will work directly alongside the Commercial Lead, gaining exposure across the full development cycle from early concept to delivery and handover.
About the Role
You will take commercial ownership across a portfolio of new-build, high-rise schemes, leading on pre-construction, cost planning, procurement and supporting delivery through to completion. This is an opportunity to move beyond the traditional QS remit and become part of the wider development process.
Key Responsibilities:

• Lead commercial strategy and cost planning during early project stages
• Support design development and value engineering to optimise project viability
• Manage procurement and appointment of main contractors
• Oversee project budgets, reporting, and change management throughout delivery
• Collaborate closely with internal development, design, and delivery teams
• Provide commercial input across multiple schemes and help guide junior team members

Requirements:

• Proven experience as a QS within the PBSA or hotel sector (experience with both is ideal)
• Solid understanding of high-rise new build developments
• Strong pre-construction and cost planning background, with exposure to delivery
• Experience working on the client side or within a developer environment preferred
• Excellent commercial awareness, communication, and stakeholder management skills
• Ambition to progress into a broader Development Management or leadership role

Benefits:

• 80,000-90,000 (DOE)
• Discretionary 20% annual bonus
• Private medical insurance (Vitality - includes discounted gym membership)
• Generous annual leave and pension
• Exposure to high-profile PBSA and hotel schemes
• Fast-growing developer with a strong, secured pipeline of projects
• Supportive, close-knit commercial team with genuine career progression opportunities

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a family-owned, high-growth developer where you can take real ownership of your projects and shape your future career. If you are commercially driven, forward-thinking, and ready to be part of something growing and dynamic, we would love to hear from you.
